The old man decides he wants another son, and makes a deal with 20 year old Anna (played by Sophia Loren), to marry him in exchange for the deed to the land in his will. But Anna finds herself attracted to young Eben, and becomes pregnant by him. After the baby is born, the old farmer makes public his bargain with Anna; Eben shocked and enraged flees the farm. The young woman's response leads to tragedy for all.
